GDT - Game 38: Red Wings (18-14-5) at Avalanche (12-20-4) 9:00

04/05/2013 at 8:56am EDT

A horrible 2nd period at PHX, in which the Wings all appeared to drink the dumbass during the first intermission, earn DET a 4-2 loss against the Dogs. The Wings dumbassery keeps them in 7th place in conference, but mired very near the bottom of the POS, with only 3 points seperating them from 12th.

In more ordinary times a game against the worst team in the league, that'd be the 12-20-4 'Dique, would encourage some confidence of a win. These aren't ordinary times, we are doomed.

Last I heard cats were disappearing all over the ITDeuce neighborhood as he tries to shake the game-wrecker mojo.

DET desperately need a win. Don 't turn around (oh oh), Der Kommisar is in town tonight, and will be on the ice.

LGRW.

Babcock said DeKeyser, White and Quincey will play tomorrow. . .

Babcock didn't say who those three would replace. he said he thinks he'll start Howard tomorrow but will think about it.
